Processing and Managing Complex Data for Decision Support provides readers with an overview of the emerging...

This book originates from the desire to perpetuate expertise in the field of performance evaluation, particularly for telecommunication systems and networks. It is obviously impossible to translate into a single work all the facets of an activity which encompasses many systems and a great variety of domains such as standardization,...

Discrete Control Systems establishes a basis for the analysis and design of discretized/quantized control systems for continuous physical systems. Beginning with the necessary mathematical foundations and system-model descriptions, the text moves on to derive a robust stability condition. To keep a practical perspective on the uncertain...

Reaction-diffusion and excitable media are amongst most intriguing substrates. Despite apparent simplicity of the physical processes involved the media exhibit a wide range of amazing patterns: from target and spiral waves to travelling localisations and stationary breathing patterns. These media are at the heart of most natural processes,...

In recent years, interest in developing statistical and computational techniques for applied manufacturing engineering has been increased. Today, due to the great complexity of manufacturing engineering and the high number of parameters used, conventional approaches are no longer sufficient. Therefore, in manufacturing, statistical and...

Chemistry and Technology of Emulsion Polymerisation 2e provides a practical and intuitive explanation of emulsion polymerization, in combination with both conventional and controlled radical polymerization. For those working in industry,  coupling theory with everyday practice can be difficult. By carefully explaining the...

Building an accurate...
